🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"What does a bird that dives for fish and climbs back to the rock resemble?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This is a Chinese painting of unknown hand, a flock of cormorants perched on a rock. The cormorant dives deep into the water for fish, then climbs back onto the rock to dry its wet wings. Going in and coming out, working and resting, lie together within one bird's life. In this bird I see balance. Forever submerged in the water, the wings grow heavy and cannot rise. After plunging deep into work, there must be a time of climbing onto the rock to dry the wings. Rest is not idleness but the readying to dive again. Only what dries can be wetted again.

If you have been deeply absorbed in work, deliberately set aside time to rest, as if drying your wings.
